The Book Thief Movie Review | Video

Watch, Pass, or Rent Video Movie Review: The Book Thief

You may have loved The Book Thief in written form, but does the bestselling book translate to the big screen? Sophie Nélisse stars as a young girl adopted by a German couple (Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson) during World War II. The film will definitely tug on your heartstrings, but is it worth your tears and your time?

I have no clue what's wrong with your critic. This is a movie about the Holocaust - to call it "shmaltzy" is a huge disservice to your readers and this is the most off-putting review I have ever heard. I saw the movie at a pre-screening and I can tell everyone it is an absolute must see.
